【解析】如果你九十岁了，你想做些什么？可能很少有人会愿意接受新的挑战。但靖奎不是这样想的，他在九十多岁的时候，出演了电影《剃头匠》，这部电影在国内外获得了很多奖。而他被导演邀请演出这部电影的原因是靖奎自己原本就是一个理发师。
1．C句意：在那个年纪，很少有人愿意接受新的挑战。考查介词辨析及语境。from从，来自；of……；at在具体时间点或地点；on在……上面。这里考查的是固定搭配at…age，“在那个年龄”，故选C。
2．C句意：一天，一个电影导演来找他，问他是否想在他的电影里表演。考查冠词辨析及语境。the定冠词，修饰名词，表特指；a和 an是不定冠词，修饰名词表示泛指一个……；an用于元音音素前。根据句意可知，这里表示“某一个导演”，是泛指，且film是辅音音素开头，应用a修饰。故选C。
3．A句意：“在电影里我能做什么？”老人问。考查特殊疑问句及语境。What can I do我能做什么，疑问语序；What I can do陈述语序；How can I do形式错误，do后缺少宾语；How I can do形式错误，do后缺少宾语。根据空后“…asked the old man.”可知，这里是老人问的一个问题，应该填一个疑问句，故选A。
4．B句意：虽然他很熟悉这个故事，但他仍然需要记住所有的台词。考查连词辨析及语境。Unless除非；如果不；Though虽然，尽管；Since自从；Until直到……时候。根据句意可知，“he knew the story well”和后面“he still needed to keep all the words in mind”是转折关系，这里应用Though引导让步状语从句。故选B。
5．A句意：这是多么大的挑战啊！考查感叹句辨析及语境。How big the challenge这个挑战多么大啊；What big the challenge形式错误；How the big challenge形式错误；What the big challenge形式错误。这里考查的是How引导的感叹句，句型是How+形容词+主语+谓语动词，故选A。
6．D句意：这部电影还获得了国内和国际奖项。考查动词时态辨析及语境。will win将会赢得，是一般将来时态；win赢，动词原形；wins第三人称单数形式；won过去式或过去分词。根据语境可知，这里说的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时态，故选D。
7．C句意：他热爱这份工作，所以他努力练习为了变得更好。考查动词辨析及语境。be成为；act表演；表现；to be动词不定式；to act动词不定式。根据句子结构可知，该空应用动词不定式，在句中作目的状语，先排除A和B；空后a better one是名词短语，因此这里应用系动词be，后跟名词作表语。故选C。
8．D句意：这就是他被电影导演邀请的原因。考查被动语态及语境。invites邀请，动词第三人称单数形式；invited过去式或过去分词形式；is invited一般现在时被动语态；was invited一般过去时被动语态。根据句意可知，主语he与动词invite之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，排除A和B；这件事发生在过去，应用一般过去时态，故选D。
9．B句意：在拍摄这部电影的时候，导演有他自己的担忧，因为他不知道靖先生是否能把电影拍下去。考查连词辨析及语境。根据句子结构可知，该空引导的是宾语从句，作动词know的宾语。that引导宾语从句，是一个连词，没有意义，在从句中也不作成分；if是否；where在哪里；when什么时候。根据句意可知，这里表示“导演不知道靖先生是否能把电影拍下去”，if符合语境，故选B。
10．D句意：靖成功地解决了他所有的问题！考查形容词副词辨析及语境。hard努力，可以作形容词或副词；hardly几乎不；successful成功的，形容词；successfully成功地，副词。根据句子结构可知，该空修饰空后的solved，应用副词；结合语境“At last, when the filming was done, the director was really pleased.”以及文意可知，靖先生成功地完成了这部电影，D选项符合语境。故选D。
十、阅读理解
A
A man sat at an underground station in Washington D.C., and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach(巴赫) pieces for about 45 minutes. Thousands of people went through the station in a hurry, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to go to work.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
During the musician's performance, only a few people gave response(反应) to him: six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌). No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing at the underground station was organized by The Washington Post(《华盛顿邮报》) as part of a social experiment(实验). What we learn from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other nice things are we missing
1.When did the story take place
A. On a cold morning. B. On a warm afternoon.
C. On a rainy evening. D. On a windy weekend.
2.How many people gave response to the musician's performance
A.6. B.20. C.26. D.45.
3.What was Joshua Bell
A.A well-known reporter. B.A poor artist.
C. An excellent violinist. D.A famous pianist.
4.What was the writer's purpose of writing this passage
A. To let us know the importance of saving time.
B. To make us pay more attention to nice things around.
C. To find out what people usually did in the underground.
D. To do a survey on how many people were interested in music.
【答案】ACCB
【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。《华盛顿邮报》做了一个实验:邀请了一位世界出名的音乐大师在地铁站演奏名曲,但是只有很少的人注意到了他。这个故事告诉人们不要总是匆匆忙忙的,否则会错失很多美好的东西。
1.A 由第一段中的“It was a cold day in January. He played six…went through the station in a hurry, most of them on their way to work.”可知,故事发生在一个寒冷的早上。
2.C 由第四段中的“six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk”可知,有26个人对他的表演做出了反应。
3.C 由第四段中的“No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.”可知,Joshua Bell是一位非常出色的小提琴家。
4.B 由最后一段中的“If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other nice things are we missing ”可知,作者的目的是让我们注意享受身边美好的东西。
B根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is there a connection between music and language According to recent studies, the answer is yes. 1. . Here, we look at two examples.
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. 2. . The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
3. . Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. 4. . Why does this work Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged(损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music improves concentration(注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. 5. . Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp(敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it’s also good for us in many other ways.
A. It can even help sick people get betterB. Music helps people solve some hearing problemsC. Music improves certain language abilities in the brainD. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violinE. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain soundsF. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speakG. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room

A
A man sat at an underground station in Washington D.C., and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach(巴赫) pieces for about 45 minutes. Thousands of people went through the station in a hurry, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to go to work.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
During the musician's performance, only a few people gave response(反应) to him: six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌). No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing at the underground station was organized by The Washington Post(《华盛顿邮报》) as part of a social experiment(实验). What we learn from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other nice things are we missing

B根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is there a connection between music and language According to recent studies, the answer is yes. 1. . Here, we look at two examples.
A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. 2. . The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.
3. . Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.
Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. 4. . Why does this work Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged(损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.
Music improves concentration(注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities. 5. . Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp(敏锐的) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it’s also good for us in many other ways.
A. It can even help sick people get betterB. Music helps people solve some hearing problemsC. Music improves certain language abilities in the brainD. The violinists develop their memories by playing the violinE. Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain soundsF. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speakG. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room
